I first off done my handshake, but just to point out that i do not have bt2 installed im working off my hda4 & everything saves there, there was NO files in etc/dhcpc, so I have created my wpa_supplicant.conf file in etc directory
I have then ran the commands as follows

**notice**
I am running this inside the etc directory, as I have tried while in
bt root #
bt hda4 #
& only seems to work when in bt etc #

still not working

bash: wlanmode: command not found
*** SO I RUN THE WLANCONFIG ATH0 TO CONFIRM IN MANAGED MODE - HOWEVER I NOTICE IT SAYS ACCESS PONT NOT ASSOCIATED, I AM APPROX 1 METER FROM IT & I HAVE MY OTHER LAPTOP ON USING WIRELESS READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS

So did I understood correctly that your wpa_supplicant.conf is in /mnt/hda4/etc folder?
If so, you should try running wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iath0 -c/mnt/hda4/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Because -c/etc wpa_supplicant.conf is not right command.

You can check where your wpa_supplicant.conf is by following.
Go to folder where it is, type "pwd" (without " "). It gives you path which you should use after -c.

And if it's still not working, please use -dd option with wpa_supplicant, and post here what it says.

update....

ok, trying both commands you have advised i have moved on & got a little further, I get

Trying to associate with (mac address) (SSID='h@ckm3' freq=2412 MHz)
Trying to associate with (mac address) (SSID='h@ckm3' freq=2412 MHz)
this continues down the page before eventually timing out, so it's trying to do something

Then get
Netowrk is down
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
Failed to initiate AP scan
Then it trys to associcate again

Could you please post output of wpa_supplicant with -dd option?
Just run it like you normally do, but add in the end -dd.
